Process Analytics: Universal and Efficient
INCOMING GOODS PRODUCTION PROCESS PRODUCTS
3
The decisive advantage of process analytics is the automated real-time control of production processes. In addition to ensuring a consistent product quality, the production process itself can be monitored and optimized. Process analytics enables high-quality, cost-effective, and convenient solutions that provide a fast ROI. The method can be applied at several levels of the production chain: incoming goods inspection, process control and 100 % end product classification. Many relevant parameters can be derived from a single measurement. For example, qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis or layer thickness measurements are typical applications.
Polytec Spectrometer Systems open up numerous possibilities for economic improvements in production environments: from incoming materials inspection to final product control.
Diode Array Spectroscopy
Optical spectroscopy is one of the most important and widely used methods in process analytics. Especially when based on diode array technology, it provides reliable results even at high measurement rates.
Advantages of optical process spectroscopy:
Real-time process monitoring and control
Non-destructive, non-invasive No sample preparation and
wastage Increased efficiency and cost
reduction e.g. by reducing rejects
Suitable for statistical process management
